Actually, if the user runs the installer as admin, then the packages will
be installed as admin (in case the auto install for packages is allowed in
MiKTeX preferences), which would not be the case if the installer wouldn't
run configure.py and the user starts LyX after installation as user. So in
this case it is worth running configure.py from the installer. In other
cases it doesn't hurt too. Therefore I'd say we keep that functionality.

Thanks, should I build new betainstallers? The current ones might fail
deleting install dir while uninstalling.
Also please find attached this fix for the official installer, please
commit and backport.
